IMTEST tested the Volkswagen Grand California 600 based on the Crafter. The test vehicle, priced at 100,721 euros, features a 177-hp engine, automatic transmission, and numerous assistance systems. Inside, there is a two-level layout: a double bed in the rear and a fold-out bunk above the living area. Drawbacks include limited storage space and awkward access to the gas cylinder.
